Best part is that they just went bankrupt after buying it in 2022 for 375 million dollars.

They arent dead, but they are in the millions of users, not hundreds of millions.

That is enough to sustain a social media platform, but none of them fully have the network effect going for them yet.

With federation, hopefully they won’t need it. That can be the network effect once interoperability is really here. Then everyone can still communicate, but not be beholden to any one service/owner/etc.

They announced it at summer game fest a couple of days ago, then announced it would be released in 24 hrs.

Bit of a double whammy, but a well received one.

A 1:1 mix of White vinegar and water is an ancient and cheap cleaner. The smell doesn’t linger long at the correct dilution and it kills a whole bunch of things.

How much profit is Redis or Hashicorp kicking back to the people the contributed to it when it was FOSS? It’s just “Fair code” now to allow its “creators” to profit, right?

Stardates should be a standard calendar at least amongst themselves.

The data lives in both places. Your pod is all of your data held in one place. The interaction is a copy of that data sent in and out to the various social networks.

I would expect that you could adjust how much context to save around your comments. Maybe it pulls down the while thread on whatever service, or maybe just the comment you replied to with a url.

This is a bit of a deviation from the initial “Solid” concept, as that was a fully standalone controlled data warehouse that you allowed social media to access only during using the service. It was a way to have control of your data because you hold the data instead of social networks.

With the fediverse’s replication between different hosts, there wouldn’t be a way to gate this data, so the concept looks like it was adaptived. A big advantage for the fediverse? Your account is actually on you pod, not someone elses server. The data is replicated via the servers is all. You would basically be “federating” your identity with a server, not depending on it.

Immensely. Its extremely versatile and robust at this point.

If youre just using it as a media center computer go with libreelec, which is an OS that boots directly into kodi. The intergration is deep and excellent.

All of this is true, but it’s also allowed because the fans like the fights, which keeps them buying tickets.

That’s the core reason. The rest of the “practical” reasons you listed could be resolved if the owners really wanted the fights to stop. They dont.

Why are you posting an 8 year old political news article? What was your goal?

It ebbs and flows. Full decentralization would be ideal, but unrealistic. Power always consolidates, until it suddenly doesnt. Making it easy to leave when it “suddenly doesnt” is key.

The above is the core strength of the fediverse. Tinpot despots may have an advantage in the network due to previous efforts, but they can be routed around any time they go nuts.

This is a huge, huge win over the top down shitbergs that is current corporate social media.

All over the article you posted:

and since Floorp currently has no advertising, my own salary is, of course, zero. It’s just not going to last.

I have made many plans, including earning development money on this projects, but all have been derailed by open source projects.

There is some code in the closed source code to prepare for this. If these are forked, my hundreds of hours will have been wasted.

The purpose is to learn how to publish code that cannot be used for forking as open source.

I have to obligate the folks to choose whether they want to pay me or help me code.

So hes forked the open source Firefox, added some polish, and is now miffed that others have taken his forked project and forked it themselves, because it cuts off a possible income stream he had planned. That code, the things he intended to profit from, is whats hidden in the “closed source” part of the repo. He says he will open source it eventually, likely after he figures out a way to profit from all of the code Mozilla kindly let him fork for free.

He doesnt want anyone else to profit from the hundreds of hours of code hes added to the millions of hours of free code hes currently trying to profit from. This is of course a very reasonable and consistent moral stance in line with common open source principles.

It helped bring trump into office in 2016, so they are ginning it up again for the election year.

Looks like you can get 8th gens for roughly that range.

How bad is the “cupping?” Just a bit of give as you walk over it but otherwise level, or literally bowing with no pressure and then really bending if you walk on it?

If it’s the former, I would wait until a few weeks without rain and the seal it, see how it goes. I probally would not remove the board to do both sides as that’s a lot of work for not much gain. Stain is weather proofing, not really structural support. For that you need wood epoxy, which will run a lot more than lumber.

If it’s the latter amount of bowing, probally a full replacement with either deck quailty lumber if she cares, or cheaper, uglier and more weather resistant pressure treated lumber if she doesnt.

You can also try removing a board and flipping it over. It’s likely the other side is not nearly as warped if the bowing isn’t bad. Then flip them all over and seal the “new” top side.

Stanley cups are made by a Seattle company that also makes all the starbucks cups, called PMI.

Exaxtly. You can go up to season 3 easily too.

Go watch the “casino in the void” episode of TNG and come back and talk about how much trek sucks now. I personally enjoy the campiness of the episode, but it was played straight, and it was terrible.

He’s probably interested in blocking these kinds of PR’s.

He is now that people are spamming the high profile projects he used as examples in his “get paid” cryptobro scam videos and it’s pissing people off in the FOSS communities hes trying to worm the project into.

Hilariously, he stated that he would be really unhappy if people were doing this to his actual FOSS projects, which makes me wonder why he didn’t use them in his examples instead of the completely unrealted Node.js and ghost projects.

Its almost like he made himself getting rich someone else’s problem. Totally unlike crypt bro behaviour, of course.
